Overview of VISO TRUST and Mirato

VISO TRUST and Mirato both operate in vendor risk and security control evaluation, but they address very different parts of the problem.

VISO TRUST delivers a complete third-party risk management platform, enabling enterprises to onboard vendors, run assessments, monitor risk continuously, and generate audit-ready reporting within a single operational system.

Mirato, by contrast, focuses on processing and analyzing control evidence using a proprietary control-matching model. It helps organizations analyze documentation and map controls, but does not provide a full operational platform to run a TPRM program.

In practical terms:

  • VISO TRUST helps enterprises run vendor risk programs end-to-end.
  • Mirato helps enterprises process control documentation more efficiently.

Core Differences

Mirato’s core strength lies in its ability to analyze and match controls within vendor documentation using its proprietary model.

This appeals to sophisticated enterprises that:

  • Already operate mature control frameworks
  • Want to customize how controls are defined and evaluated
  • Need processing power to analyze large volumes of documentation

However, Mirato primarily focuses on control analysis, not program execution.

Customers must still manage:

  • Vendor onboarding workflows
  • Assessment distribution and tracking
  • Vendor communications
  • Continuous monitorng
  • Lifecycle reassessments
  • Audit reporting and governance

Mirato acts as a processing layer rather than a full operational solution.

VISO TRUST

VISO TRUST provides enterprises with an operational platform to manage vendor risk from onboarding through offboarding.

Key capabilities include:

  • Vendor onboarding and lifecycle workflow automation
  • AI-enabled assessments and evidence collection
  • Continuous monitoring across vendors and downstream providers
  • Automated reassessment triggered by risk changes
  • Vendor communication workflows that reduce chasing
  • Audit-ready reporting and executive dashboards
  • Evidence-backed risk decisions across thousands of suppliers

Rather than requiring customers to define and manage their own control structures, VISO TRUST provides structured guidance aligned to industry frameworks while allowing customization when needed.

Where Differences Matter Operationally

Program execution

Mirato:

  • Helps analyze controls
  • Does not run TPRM programs

VISO TRUST:

  • Runs onboarding, assessments, monitoring, and reassessments end-to-end

Platform experience

Mirato:

  • Limited front-end operational platform
  • Designed as a processing component

VISO TRUST:

  • Full enterprise platform for security, risk, and procurement teams

Control ownership

Mirato:

  • Customers define and maintain their own controls
  • Requires mature internal control frameworks

VISO TRUST:

  • Provides structured control coverage aligned to frameworks
  • Reduces internal control design burden

Operational scalability

Mirato:

  • Improves control processing efficiency
  • Operational workload still sits with internal teams

VISO TRUST:

  • Automation reduces operational overhead
  • Vendor ecosystem scales without proportional headcount growth

The Strategic Decision

Organizations evaluating Mirato and VISO TRUST are typically deciding between:

Enhancing control processing within an existing TPRM operation

or

Modernizing and automating the entire vendor risk lifecycle

Enterprises with mature internal control programs and existing TPRM infrastructure may use Mirato as a processing layer.

Enterprises looking to modernize vendor risk operations, reduce operational friction, and scale efficiently choose VISO TRUST.
